Will developers have a nightmare working with Sony's new hardware?

By IGN Staff

Sony has revealed a handful of new details on its PSP portable gaming hardware, including first details on how developers will be working with the system. Whereas the PS2 hardware asked that developers make use of the best of their programming abilities to "bang the metal" and work closely with the hardware, PSP will take an approach more closely resembling that of the original PlayStation. The PSP will keep the innerworkings of the hardware away from developers, allowing for access through development libraries.

We presume this will make things easy on certain developers while others will fight for their right to get up close and personal with the hardware. PSP development will begin later this year, so stay tuned for more details shortly!
